gen. et sp. nov. intercepted from nuts of , with an updated phylogenetic assessment of .

An entry postal parcel with mature nuts of from Togo was inspected at Dalian Customs (China) in December 2021, and four strains were isolated from symptomatic tissues of the nuts. Based on morphological observations and molecular phylogenetic analyses, above strains were identified as a new species which is mainly characterised by the verticillately branching conidiophores. Based on multi-locus phylogenetic analyses, this new species forms a monophyletic clade closely related to and but could not be accommodated in any known genera of .

Phytochemical interventions for post-traumatic stress disorder: A cluster co-occurrence network analysis using CiteSpace.

Objective: This study investigated trends in the study of phytochemical treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Methods: The Web of Science database (2007-2022) was searched using the search terms "phytochemicals" and "PTSD," and relevant literature was compiled. Network clustering co-occurrence analysis and qualitative narrative review were conducted.

SGK1, a Critical Regulator of Immune Modulation and Fibrosis and a Potential Therapeutic Target in Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease.

Patients with severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) always experience debilitating tissue injury and have poorer quality of life and shorter survival time. The early stage of cGVHD is characterized by inflammation, which eventually leads to extensive tissue fibrosis in various organs, such as skin and lung, eventually inducing scleroderma-like changes and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. Here we review the functions of serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1 (SGK1), a hub molecule in multiple signal transduction pathways and cell phosphorylation cascades, which has important roles in cell proliferation and ion channel regulation, and its relevance in cGVHD.

Maintenance Treatment With Low-Dose Decitabine After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Patients With Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Background: Post-transplant relapse remains a principal leading cause of failure after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of low-dose decitabine on the prevention of adult ALL relapse after allo-HSCT.

Methods: In this prospective study, we enrolled 34 patients with ALL who underwent allo-HSCT from August 2016 to April 2020 and received low-dose decitabine maintenance treatment after transplantation.

Serum Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor as a Biomarker of Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a pro-inflammatory cytokine with chemokine-like functions, has been shown to play a central role in several acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. However, limited information is available regarding the use of MIF as an inflammatory pathway marker in patients with tuberculosis. This study aimed to investigate the association of MIF with IFN-γ and TNF-α in active pulmonary tuberculosis (APTB) following anti-tuberculosis treatment.
